Hammerin' Fears: "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires" (1974)

Hello, Pulp Friends,

Last Hammerin' Fears of the month but not last Hammerin' Fears of Pulp SUnday: there are still many great HAMMER movies to tribute, and these were too much fun to work on too :)

Today we have a personal favorite, a movie I was big fan of since I watched it the first time as a kid (and watched it over and over again since then): The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires! Martial arts with fangs! Come'on, you can't beat that fun, can you? :)It's close to midnight and I need to put this up so I will leave you with the synopsis of the movie and a little trailer (titled 7 Brothers Meet Dracula for the American market I think) and, of course, my little tribute to this classic :)Can't believe this Halloween month is almost over :(

Buona Visione and have a Pulp Friday evening everyone! :)

Cheers,Francesco

Synopsis: Professor Van Helsing (Cushing) had been asked to help against the tyranny of skeletal creatures that are responsible for terror and death amongst the peasants in rural China. He is the only person qualified to deal with the cause of these phenomena, for the undead are controlled by the most diabolical force of all.... Count Dracula (Forbes-Robertson). But he is not alone- to aid him comes a mystical brotherhood of seven martial arts warriors.

"7 Brothers" is a (badly) re-edited version of "7 Golden Vampires" for the grindhouses, emphasizing the kung-fu. (It's 14 minutes shorter!)BOTH versions are available on the Anchor Bay dvd (V10560) along with an audiobook from the soundtrack with narration by Cushing!And you do a GREAT Peter Cushing!How about doing either of the 2 Dr Who feature films?
